Registering UCS manager with UCS Central

UCS Central is the centralized management tool for managing UCS domain.

Prerequisites : 

1. Make sure NTP server name and time zone matches exactly between the UCS central and UCS manager. Lot of time I  get into trouble in registering the UCS manager with UCS central due to this .

you can set this on UCS manager ----> admin -----> Time Zone Management 

 On UCS central Administration----->General-----> Date/time

2. Ucs central IP address and  Shared Secret password is required for this


Actual Steps :

Step 1:

Goto UCS Manager ----> Admin ----> UCS central   ( if you not seeing this option under Admin tab then check the filter under Admin tab and make sure either UCS central is selected or ALL is selected)

Step 2 :

click Register with UCS Central

Step 3:

update the UCS Central ip and Shared secret password


Step 4:

if you want to change some policy revolution control  to global  ( which means it will get the settings from UCS central ) you can select that as global or you can change this anytime after registration


Step 5:

click ok and accept 

Step 6:

once it is properly registered wtth UCS central then the repair state is showing as done and  Registration status will be showing as Registered . Check the FSM tab to see the progress

step 7:

On the UCS Central login  navigate to Equipment ---> UCS domain ------> Ungrouped domains and  UCS manager will be listing there if the registration is successful

 

Step 8: 

Right click on the UCS manager under Ungrouped Domain and click change group assignment

Step 9: 

 Select the proper domain Group , either put that on root domain group or you can create a sub domain group. I would prefer to create a sub domain group  and click yes for changing the group.

Step 10:

check the ucs manager is showing under the Domain group
